Interesting. I was born and raised within a "stone's throw" of "Big Cajun". The plant is right on the Mississippi River, so has great access to cheap transport---both for receiving coal and transporting out any products (other than electricity, of course).

It certainly sounds like a process that has a great deal of synergism possible, but I think the overall success of "algae-based" biofuels will involve the eventual bio-engineering of the algae themselves to improve their prodution efficiency of desired products.

Yes, I think at one point they’ll have to focus more on the bio-engineering part of that. A lot of small corporation are starting to make a lot of assertions. We’ll see if they produce anything out of that or it’s just a small bubble that needs more time.
